Significant progress made with Fort William station and the backscene at long last. This finalises the major development of WHL 3 leaving me only with the typical ongoing activity of additional detailing. The pictures below show the various stages of development comprising:

· Track and platform weathered
· Several additional droppers added to the power BUS
· Wooden platform edges replaced with Peco ones.
· Station detailing added, the canopies covering the first part of the platform remain under development
· Lochaber area backscene finished

Additionally the framework on which Fort William station sits has been adjusted to ensure stability and to avoid fouling locos climbing to Bridge of Orchy on the incline which sits below Fort William. I also had to re-visit the Bridge of Orchy section module where a recurring point motor alignment problem has provided much frustration. Having lifted the section on several occasions, I appear to have finally resolved this.
The surrounding scenic sections have been restored to their rightful positions, now for some running action….
